To begin using the tool (continued):
9.
Test for proper fastener penetration by driving fasteners into a sample piece of wood as follows:
a.
Press the contact safety trip mechanism of the tool against the work surface.
b.
Pull the trigger.
c.
Release the trigger.
d.
Lift the tool off the work surface and move the tool to the next desired location.
e.
Repeat the procedure above.
f.
Adjust the compressor pressure regulator to a lower or higher setting (60-100 PSI) to achieve desired
fastener penetration. Do not exceed 100 PSI.
CHECKING THE CONT
CHECKING THE CONT
Do this before each use:
This is a single sequential mode tool, also referred to as a restrictive trigger, which means that the contact
safety trip mechanism is to be depressed against the work surface before the trigger can be pulled and a fastener
discharged. Follow the instructions below to check the contact safety trip mechanism.
1.
Disconnect the tool from the air supply.
2.
Remove all fasteners from the tool (see "unloading the tool" section in this manual).
3.
Make sure the trigger and contact safety trip move freely without binding or sticking.
4.
Connect the air supply to the tool. NOTE: Do not load any fasteners into the tool for this test.
5.
Depress the contact safety trip against the work surface without pulling the trigger. The tool must not cycle.
6.
Lift the tool off the work surface. The contact safety trip should return to its original position.
7.
Hold the tool 1/2" off the work surface and pull the trigger without the contact safety trip mechanism touching
the work surface. The tool must not cycle.
8.
Depress the tool against the work surface and pull the trigger. This is the proper sequence to operate the
tool. The tool must cycle.
Loading the tool with fasteners (brad nails or crown staples):
1.
Disconnect the tool from the air supply.
2.
Depress the latch and slide the magazine back.
3.
Insert a stick of brad nails or a row of crown staples. Make
sure they are clean and not damaged.
3a.
Brad nails: Make sure the pointed ends of the fasteners
are loaded with the points down.
3b.
Crown staples: Place the row of staples with the crown
over the rail.
4.
Push the magazine forward until it latches.
Unloading fasteners from the tool:
1.
Disconnect the tool from the air supply.
2.
Depress the latch and slide the magazine back.
3.
Remove fasteners from the tool.
4.
Push the magazine forward until it latches.

TING INSTRUCTIONS (continued)
OPERA
TING INSTRUCTIONS (continued)
Make sure the sample piece of wood is thicker than the length of the nail or staple.
Never use the tool if it cycles without pulling the trigger.
Never use the tool if it cycles when lifted from the work surface.
LOADING
AND UNLOADING THE T
LOADING
AND UNLOADING THE T
Always assume that the tool contains
fasteners. Do not point the tool toward
yourself or anyone whether it contains
fasteners or not.
When loading or unloading the tool with
fasteners, make sure the trigger is not
activated and the contact safety trip
mechanism is not depressed or in
contact with a work surface.
